Worried You’re Being Spied On?

Maybe you need the TSEEYO Professional Bug Detector. It’s said to have 4 Modes: Hidden Camera Detector -capable of detecting a wide range of surveillance or listening devices via Wireless WiFi Signal Detection 2. Magnetic GPS Detection 3. Red Infrared Light Detection. It also has a flashlight and can be used as a motion detector. This seems designed for detecting cameras, etc. in small places like a dressing room, conference room, bathroom, hotel, rental house, office, etc. It’s powered by a rechargeable lithium-ion battery. When I checked the last price on 8/29/24, it was $39.99, with a 10% off coupon. You’ll see my demo of the device on this week’s show.

It can charge your phone too!

Okay, so it’s really not billed as a “disco alarm clock”, but it does have ever-changing RGB colors on the clock face as one of the options. (My favorite, of course!) Never heard of the brand, but it’s pronounceable: Topski. The bed shaker, which is designed for heavy sleepers, makes a racket, especially if you leave it on a hard surface like a nightstand. You’ll see and hear it in my video on this week’s show. If RGB is not your thing it’s easy to set the clock digits to a solid color. There’s also a nightlight feature, battery back-up and a USB charging port in the back. Plus, you cam dim all the lights all the way down to zero. I think it’s an amazing clock for under $20. If you don’t need the ‘shaker’ option, it about $5 cheaper!

Here’s a neat Weekly (7 Day) Pill Organizer, called the Betife Daily Pill Box. It’s especially great if you travel and need a week’s worth of pills with you. Here’s some info from the company: Our 7 day pill box organizer can store up to 5 large supplements or 10-12 oval vitamins in each internal compartment. It protects your pills from spilling out with a slide lock. Made of BPA-free material, safe to hold your medicine. The name of the 7 days feature updated 3D printing. They will never come off over 7,000 times of use. Clear Sun to Sat date marks help you keep on track of taking pills. Because you have to push on tab to open the pill drawer, it automatically makes you hold the device so the pill drawer is facing up. It was $12.99 when I bought mine on Amazon.

We did something different this week. A couple of weeks ago The Giz Wiz Show celebrated episode 2000. Fans send in wonderful videos, including one from Mark, AKA Giz_1. It was an amazing under 2 minutes look at dozens of gadgets we covered over all those years. I thought it would be fun to take a closer look at a few of them that I don’t remember much about. First, here’s the video from Giz_1.  https://youtu.be/QVdGUK-ex68

That bike Chad was on is from a show about 4 years ago. That’s his EcoSmart SUP Electric Scooter. It featured 16″ Air-Filled Tires, Wide Bamboo Deck, 350w High-Torque Hub-Driven Motor. Expect up to 15.5 mph & 15.5 Miles Range. Back then it had a 36V lead-acid battery system and plug-in charger. requires no gasoline, making it an economical and eco-friendly alternative to make local trips. With its quiet, high torque, 350-watt hub-driven motor, the Razor EcoSmart SUP Electric Scooter can reach speeds up to 15.5 mph (25 km/h), boasts an up to 12-mile (19 km) range and up to 60 minutes of continuous use. It’s still around, but now there are many models, some with seats and carrying baskets. The basic model Chad had has a MSRP: $449.99.

The Giz Wiz wearing cat ears? Almost 12 years ago, Neurosky, came out with a new mental exercise device called MindWave.  It’s said to measures your brainwave signals and attention levels in a whole (strange, and very funny) way. Necomimi’s Cat-Ears! Yep, put on your cat ears, let one sensor rest on your forehead, and connect the other sensor to your earlobe. It connects with a little clip, which I didn’t even feel when attached. Then anyone looking at you will most likely stare and laugh as your cat-like reactive movements show how interested or relaxed you are in real-time. Cost $99.95

What? 12 years later and they’re still available, and a bit cheaper! $79.99.

Chad said that’s Elephant Toothpaste Leo is playing with in the old ‘Brick House’ Studio. He couldn’t remember how it was made. I looked up ‘elephant toothpaste’ on Amazon & these Science Kits came up: https://amzn.to/3XrYRnR
